Not-so-random thoughts and chiseled commentary about life, hockey and collecting autographs (primarily on pucks, sticks and memorabilia) for the pure fun of it, certainly not for profit, during the 2008-09 season. To follow the 2009-10 hockey-hounding campaign, please visit Hound Central 5.0.

Sometimes, you ask twice

As a rule, I try not to double-dip on a NHL player within the same opportunity. I'll leave that up to the dealers.

But, I have no problems at all asking a player to sign items -- be it pucks, cards, photos, whatever -- more than once during any given day.

Take Montreal's hound magnet Carey Price, for instance.

After having him sign The Hockey News' Future Watch 2008 before yesterday's morning skate, I asked him to sign the 8x10 above to Colin on his way back to the team's hotel.
